“The only thing nice about this visit was the lady working the gift shop. Who came over and told the kids there was something for them to find in the gift shop and gave them a paper to write Santa a letter. The guy setting people gave us no estimate of time for how long it was gonna take . We waited and hour and 10 minutes. After we were sat we asked the waitress if we could put our food order in because we knew what we wanted and we didn't want to wait any longer. She rudely said can I just get the drinks , then after we gave her the drink orders she asked for the food order. She could have poileltly told us she had to put the drinks in first to go ahead with the order. My daughter got a sprite it was out of syrup tasted like just carbonated water we let the waitress know . She rudely told us will that just how it is so that's how its gonna taste. So fine get her a root beer then but also what the heck. Wait like another 25 minutes nothing. Doesn't come back with my daughter's replacement drink or the alcohol drink my friend had ordered ..finally we just decided to go up and pay for the drinks we had got and leave went up front to do so. An the guy told us we could just leave , and followed us out , utterly terrible service. Sharing this here since the owner decided to lie when responding to my review. No wait time was ever given. No one ever slammed there fist down an the waitress was beyond rude telling us can I just get the drinks when we told her we wanted to place our orders. She was rude when we told her the syrup was out on my daughter's drink and her response was well thats just how it comes out of of the machine so that's how its going to be .That was her response literally word for word for word . To us telling her it was out and needed to be changed .Was i can get u another one but it going to come out of the same machine. Thats why we had let her know it was out of syrup so someone could change it. Then not only did 25 minutes pass with her not bringing my daughter a replacement sprite or even a root beer because I had even said fine she will just take a root beer then . Before we decided to just leave. An pay for our drinks we. We went up to the front the guy told us we could just leave and followed us to the door while telling us merry Christmas. I hope they train there waitress better on how to be polite an talk to customers the response to be told a soda is out of syrup should not be well that just how it comes out of the machine so that's just how its gonna taste it should be let me fix that or if u don't know how to fix it then say that and give the option for them to choose a different drink.”

“In August 2025, we visited the Fireside Winery at the Amana Colonies in Amana, Iowa. The Fireside Winery has colorful outdoor glass bottle sculptures on display. The Amana Colonies are a collection of 7 Colonies of German Heritage in Central Iowa, and they are not Amish. The Fireside Winery was fun to visit and see the outdoor decorations. Besides the Fireside Winery store, there are also many quaint shops and buildings, and they are all clean and well-maintained. Apparently, the Amana Colonies draws the highest number of visitors of any tourist attraction in Iowa. We greatly enjoyed visiting the Fireside Wine, which is part of the Amana Colonies.”

“This wasn’t always my favorite winery in the Amanas, only because they have a lot of sweet fruit wines and I like things somewhat dryer. But, they launched their Fireciders and those are incredible and the reason why I come here now!! Great staff every time we come here as well.”

“White Cross Cellars is truly a treasure. The experience was made all the more special by the owner, who is absolutely enchanting and incredibly approachable. It was an absolute delight speaking with him—his passion for wine and the story behind his ventures added so much depth to the visit. You can tell he pours his heart into every bottle.

The wines were wonderful, but it’s the personal touch and genuine hospitality that really set this place apart. We left not just with a few bottles, but with a real appreciation for the craft and care behind them. Would love to come back again soon!”

“Best lime beer in Iowa! Mmmm, tastes like Summer! Great people, great fun!”

“we sent a cold snowy night in Amana, the Electric Social Club was one of the only things open. Casey the bartender was welcoming and helpful. Great atmosphere, great service, and one of the best Classic Bourbon Old Fashions I have had in a long time. Great Job Casey we will be back - Group of 6 from MN/WI”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Stopped in for a drink and was lucky enough to have Allecia as my bartender. Even though it was my first time there, she treated me like a regular. Super friendly, fast, and made a killer drink. You can tell she loves what she does and knows how to make people feel welcome. If you’re ever there and see Allecia behind the bar, you’re in good hands! Make sure you tip her well, she’s definitely worth it!!!”

“Great coffee, reasonable prices, website is easy to navigate, and they always deliver same day to me (locally). Haven’t purchased different coffee since trying it.”

“I love the Raiders food and ice cream!”

“This place is a hidden gem! The building is about 150 years old, but the inside is updated and clean. The menu said that the building once housed a saloon and hotel. I had a turkey Reuben and fries that were tasty and reasonably priced. They were selling a lot of pizzas that looked good- maybe next time. I appreciated the relaxed atmosphere. We watched a football game while we ate. I would feel comfortable bringing kids here with me.”

“Food was good but not as good as it used to be. Service, atmosphere and food marginally fair for the price. Total dining experience not worth the recommended tipping options of 20, 25 or 30% at checkout.”

“We were recently at Landmark. Food was great and service was great. We will be back soon!”

“Delicious tenders, Great chicken, and wonderful sides! Also the only place around I've been able to get fried livers and gizzards. The guy at the counter was super friendly and helpful. I will return.”

“Great food! Amazing Staff!”

“An amazing bar I take my 3 year old daughter here for lunch regularly and it’s always outstanding and they are always so welcoming”
